Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup salsa (mild, medium, or hot, based on preference)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for about 15 minutes to make spreading easier and the texture smooth.
  2. Spread the cream cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a shallow serving dish and spread it evenly to form a smooth layer.
  3. Add salsa: Spoon the salsa evenly over the top of the cream cheese. Avoid mixing to maintain distinct layers, which makes the dip visually appealing and flavorful.
  4. Serve: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a slightly chilled dip.

Notes

  • Use your favorite salsa type and heat level to customize the dip.
  • For added texture and flavor, sprinkle chopped green onions or shredded cheese on top.
  • Allow cream cheese to soften for best spreading results and taste.
  • Keep refrigerated if not serving immediately, and consume within 24 hours for freshness.
